No you are not ... can't seem to understand why everyone goes coco for this album , Katatonia worship to the level of boredom

oh right... I don't like Katatonia, no wonder I don't like it haha. Was kinda disappointed with this album because I checked out Silent Stage first and thought it was really good and expected it to be better since the ratings are higher

Well, this sounds pretty much like if katatonia never abandoned the harsh sound from brave murder day, which is a album i love. Besides, the vocals are as good as Akerfelds (comparing with BMD) and the production is much better (Yeah Swanö is musical genius, but his engineering skills are meh). And yeah, i agree, that it might sound repetitive, but i think, that its casused by this trance-like tempo, which had been used to evoke this "loneliness" feeling on MDB as well
